A G5 can't run FCPX if that is what is needed, not sure what FCPX file server wouild entail, do you mean just a file server?

2008 Mac Pros use PC6400 RAM, no G5 would have used that.

Oh yes, it'll work as a File Server through File Sharing... but are all 4 HDD slots filled in your Mac Pro already?

You can put the G5's drive in the empty slot if you wish.
